Default What does a 1000 bucks get me?

I have a 93 fox body mustang and want to get it painted. I have about a grand saved up for paint. The body is in great condition with minimal dings and dents. Im thinking of a silver color or a matalic gray. I am wondering where I can get it painted for around a grand that would be a nice job. This will be a daily driver so it doesnt need to be a crazy great job, but something nice. Let me know. I might not need the dorr jams done.

Hey MikeDillard, I don't see how making 10.50 an hour you have any room to talk shit. It must have taken you a year of saving to paint any car you might have. I could spend five grand on paint an it would not matter. This car is going to mainly be for road racing track days so it doesn't need to be perfect. You and your ten dollar an hour fag friends need to get a life and stick to sucking up paint fumes for a living.
